Pallets, Parsnips & Piles

[Lord Ferguson]

With a new forklift (or two) on the way I thought I'd better make some pallets.? The wood I'm, using is too thick so I'm off the the model shop on Tuesday to get some thinner stuff... ANY comments welcome

[NewHolland2]

Right Mark. Here we go:-

Length = 3.5cm

Breadth = 2.5cm

Height = 0.4cm

Hope That Helps......

Great thanks Martin - they are in fact 1/32nd scale Euro Pallets (ish) - 1/32nd scale is 37mm wide (not 35) but it's near as damn it.  As for the width a standard pallet is 31.25mm - so it makes sense that thats about Euro size.  So in conclusion the Siku pallets are about 1/32nd scale - Go I hope that makes sense

Brilliant Mark. Glad they are 1/32. They are a wee bitty small for carrying some things but they do the job for me...... ;)

[Tractorman810]

so how much bigger are your ones then mark? have you any pics on the britains front loader/forklift so we can see

[Lord Ferguson]

Hello TM810 - Believe it or not I don't own a loader at the present time.  I have ordered a Joal JCB Teletruck which should be here by the end of the week - I'll take some pictures then.  Been frantically trying to get hold of the 5455 with loading forks but so far we've scoured Holland to no avail 

If it helps the measurements are 31x37mm - can take a picture near a tractor if that helps

[Tractorman810]

the measurements will be ok,i'll cut a bit of card and put the everad sprayer on it see how it fits

Do you want a pallet for an Everard Sparyer then TM810 - if you want a specific size one I could make you one (no charge for a fellow Massey Fan - JD fans they're ?150 each)

[Tractorman810]

doesn't need to be a certain size,as the one on the farm used to hang over the sides,was only used to keep it off the ground,along with other bits,and to move it out if needed,so the normal size will be fine,i will let you know when i am ready for some,but theres no rush

OK TM810 - Will give me time to improve them a little then - the wood I have is too thick really (1.5mmx3mm) needs to be about 0.75mmx3mm really.  And get some blue GKN coloured paint.  Don't think I'll be making too many to be honest - they're well fiddly to do and I don't have a ghreat deal of patience

[Tractorman810]

no problem mate,probally only want 10 at most,i am in the middle of a marshal silage trailer amoungst others (just waiting for primer to dry) so not desperate fro them as setup has stopped for a mo

[FB]

Thanks TM810 - they are true 1/32nd scale (ish) a blue GKN Chep pallett is 1.0m x 1.2m wide - these are 31mmx37mm (true scale give or take points of a mm).? Will be painting them tonight (only made 6 !) - I'm gonna make some plain wood ones too to make it look authentic around Aardvark farm.

Don't even go there Ben either !!!!? ;D

[Lord Ferguson]

Bless you TM810  - I've made a Dolav bin tonight - waiting for the paint to dry - will post it when it has

[Tractorman810]

[Lord Ferguson]

One for Martin... couldn't find where we discussed Dolav bins... but anyway I know you'll find it here - in 1/1 scale..

[Lord Ferguson]

Brilliant. Thanks for that Mark, now I'll know what you're talking about...... ;).

[Deere-est]

and the Daewoo Forklift..

Very fitting to see a Daewoo product infront of a sign that reads "Goods not fit for sale".  ;D ;D

And it's very true of that bl**dy thing too - been nothing but trouble since I've had it - I reckon I may swap it this year for a JCB Telehandler.
